Aella was, as usual, humming to herself as she braided the hair between her horse’s ears. So far, she had successfully braided nearly the entire mane, starting at the bottom. Occasionally, without seeming to notice she was doing it, the girl would rub a hand on her head like she had a headache.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCogYkXZPM3
Luna had come out of cat form and was on Neoma’s horse, watching Aella braid. She blinked, mimicking her hand a few times, then turned to Neoma, poking her and repeating the motion. The other girl rolled her eyes. Aella looked over at them and grinned. “I can show you how to do it properly later, if you want,” she offered.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsleRNT5A2
Luna grinned and nodded. “Please?!”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcq2hO7gUN
”It’s a plan!~” She glanced back to her horse, then swayed a moment, seeming to space out, eyes unfocused.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l6OI2PXkC
Neoma studied her for a few seconds, tilting her head. “You okay there?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3hB7AJgHu
She blinked and looked back over at Neoma. “Hmm? Yep, I’m alright.~” she said, returning to her normal cheery self.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxivLmQmF5
“Ah, okay.” She didn’t dig into it, looking ahead, then pointing.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEycxEpD5Y
“Are we at a town finally?” Aella asked excitedly, bouncing in the saddle and making her horse snort and toss its head. Neoma nodded slowly, keeping her eyes on the town ahead.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U2xxLGH9B
“Oh, yay~” She settled back into her saddle, but still looked impatient to get there.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzfjJGt0L4
Neoma kicked the horse lightly to make it go faster, looking behind her to see if Aella followed. The blonde nudged her horse so it was even with Neoma’s, and she smirked, mumbling, “Brat.” She jolted her horse even farther. Aella started grinning, speeding up her horse again.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXmqGsSyQ1
The two continued to urge the creatures faster. Neoma watched the town grow bigger and taller, the smell of sea salt burning her nose. Aella took a deep breath, her grin widening even further. Luna itched her nose at the scent, moving her hand over her nose.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RSdqRpUN6
Aella winced again suddenly, slowing down. Neoma looked back at her, pulling back to have her horse next to hers.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ROOxngPiZ
Her eyes focused again after a second, and she shook her head. “My head hurts.” Neoma paused, grabbing a rope from the supplies and tying it on both mounts’ necks.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmOpKaooWW
Aella gave her a curious look. “What’s that for?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmbNFFzCQr
”So if you fall off, the horse won’t drag you.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9x0dmVVXX
“That would hurt.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw0g5oMPkS
“Yes, it would.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV1hnu7gGY
Aella hummed, looking ahead.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbRc4wjdGR
780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklbbwBqiAt
780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfVHu55xBb
780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuQT8ly4Tm
Neoma pulled a bit on the hood of her cloak, keeping out the light and the sight of anyone, no longer riding on her horse. Aella had dismounted as well, now walking with a bright smile. Neoma looked at the ground as she walked, and Luna was walking next to Aella, blabbering on about the forest around her home. The girl appeared to be listening quite well, aside from the occasional wince.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7bz3WcKwY
“So, there’s a ton of animals and they’re all good for eating! But some of them are fast and hard to catch, and some are slower and even beginning hunters can catch them! And and…. oh, there’re more villages on the island, and they’re always fighting, and it wasn’t fun!” She purred a bit at that.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M3uZ3k8pp
Wow.~ Did your village fight much, or were they nice and peaceful?” she asked curiously.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBON42ErAQ4
“Uh, it depends!” She thought for a moment, then grinned. Aella tilted her head questioningly. “We were like a family I guess, but they didn’t like the other villages…”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTn8fHuvqO
”Oh…” She absentmindedly rubbed her forehead again, as she’d been doing increasingly often. Luna giggled and nodded, continuously rambling about her home. Before long, Aella suddenly stumbled to a halt with a pained expression.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbUUisI2Lc
Luna jumped a bit, pushing her arms out to hold her up. “Are you alright!?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUrlnjR14P
“Oww… My head really hurts now,” she said a bit distantly. “And the ring burns.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNqp9p9Pt5
Neoma moved over, grabbing her wrist. “Come on.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlqb0TjGnm
“Mm..” Aella let Neoma lead her without protest.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYmDwqaL4h
She moved her into the shade, pressing a hand to her forehead. “How do you feel?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwxamIjgIW
“Not good…” She closed her eyes, tipping her head back a bit. “Ow. Cináed’s upset.” Neoma walked over the horse, pulling out a fruit for the girl. She reached for it, but dropped it almost immediately with a wince, so Neoma just sat next to her, one of the shadows holding up the fruit. Luna came over, sitting down as well.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYBJMys8oX
Without warning, the girl flinched and went stiff, then started tearing at her slender hand. Neoma jumped up, taking a few paces back. “Damn it,” she growled, and glared up at them. “I hate you. I really, really hate you.” As she spoke, the blue of her eyes seemed to leach out, leaving a bright, metallic silver.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1HF4DGtqy
Luna looked a bit hurt, but Neoma just… shrugged. “So, the shifter’s breaking through.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6xgZkrYQh
”What is this thing?” Cináed demanded. He had already shifted out of Aella’s form - not into the appearance they’d first seen him with, but a pale teenager with auburn hair. His irises remained their unnaturally bright color. Luna jumped back, her feet and hands dragging against the ground. 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YQEj2FTAo
"A silver ring," the elemental answered.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan4lhdU3CO
“And why can’t I take it off?” he growled.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMdkktVlhN
She rose one of the shadows from the ground. “Reasons.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujsFc45N2s
”I want a straight answer.” His shoulders tensed up.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6W24z4dMf
” Well that sucks, because you aren’t getting one.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpUIfYyzji
“And why’s that?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr9kjNGciZ
”Because, screw you. That’s why.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBmMrpi32o
”Great response,” he muttered. “Witty.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QAwsuU8zt
Luna licked her lips once or twice, her eyes darting from Neoma to the other boy - Cináed or something - then went back to ignoring the fight, sniffing at the air (it smelled weird in the city, like trash and things) and scratching her nails to the ground.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVQrQKklji
Neoma crossed her arms. “I could come up with something better, but I don’t believe you deserve any brilliant backsass from me.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eazYpqKYy
He rolled his eyes at her. “You were a lot less of a bitch in Spain.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvWB3kifLS
“‘Till I found out you possessed some girl’s body,” Neoma grumbled, the shadow going liquid-like and plopping to the ground.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFaJozErcb
“What do you care about some random human?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XirmceGNJ
“More like I don’t like the thing in her.” Suddenly her hands flipped palm up, causing shadows to pin his hands to the ground in almost a basket-like weave.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM99IIwWdv
”You seemed fine with shapeshifters when I first told you.” He snarled, trying to pull back.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH6JeIXBnG
“Sure, I’m fine with the species in general, but most don’t have to possess people.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSYVnJDkmP
“Most,” Cináed muttered. This seemed to tick her off, and she pulled out the knife from before and pushed it near his neck. He leaned back. “Don’t.” She poked him with the tip, leaving a red mark, then returned it to its sheath. He hissed, his hands twitching.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJrkHRWdJz
Luna tilted her head. “Neoma, that’s rude.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdU4u84gI9
”S’ also rude to be an ass, but this guy’s first class in that.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7JfshA9TR
Cináed growled again, trying to get free of the shadows. However, the shadows solidified as they got pulled, starting almost like rope. The more he pulled, the more they changed to a metallic feel. ”Damn it..” He stopped yanking on them, faint electrical sparks dancing across his hands in his irritation.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KB3ExsmHn
Meanwhile, Neoma continued the petty argument with Luna, almost forgetting about the shifter before looking back at him and going, “Oh, right.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfUJ7ucI8c
”So what the hell are you going to do, just sit here and let me be trapped all day?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsau2npQcIR
”Shut up, I’m thinking.” She crossed her arms, looking at the shadows for a few seconds.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQxtbxq5Ym
”Impressive,” he muttered.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35WzX9WAAO
”Screw yourself.” She glanced at him, then back to the shadows. “Yeah, we aren’t letting you go wander free.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUvYiEXCb5
”And why not?” he said sourly.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqckGyYpUP
”You have my ring~” She teased, then held her hands up. “And I can’t take it off you.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz6jFJceRq
”… seriously. Then who CAN take it off!?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTeHNfQTJl
“Aella”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHeZqdd8aX
”FanTAStic. Fucking great.” He glared daggers at her. “So then what’re you gonna do with me, huh?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJLrOOFhqV
Luna finally piped up. “Well, there’s the chance that: A. you pretty much leave her body by letting her take off the ring and then going, or B… um… we’re stuck with you!”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJuWPvTSfz
”Ah, no.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1jOx47Bs9
“… Then we’re stuck with you!!” Luna grinned, jumping up from her sitting position.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bO2QJo75K
“… for how long, exactly?” 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4oW7V2Anx
“Who knows?” Neoma smirked. “But the moment you try to run, let’s see how hot that silver gets.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEiUEbPrEu
He growled under his breath. “If I’m stuck with you, at least tell me what this ring is meant for.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQb1UQ1ZVT
“Keep you in control.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyfzgOAqp6
”I doubt this was custom-made.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA0gBJ8FIJ
“Not for you, but it’s a silver ring, and I guess it helps.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ty5a158zH
”Better hope it doesn’t burn my finger off,” he grumbled. Sure enough, the skin around the ring was dark red.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBu9SiKB5l
”It might”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n7P6OstpJ
”You’ve gotta be kidding,” he growled. He attempted to pull it off again, hard enough that the nails of his other hand left bloody grooves on his light skin.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEArEnh8aT
“Hey now, dont want to scar yoursefl”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfVxfNlt5V
“Shapeshifters don’t scar,” he grumbled.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr6iLSj4nb
”Right, right.” She stepped up, not releasing his hands.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMgEZvHm5X
Cinaed automatically leaned back from her again. Finally, the shadows sunk around his fingers and into the ground. “‘Bout time,” he muttered, and stood, wobbling a bit. She grumbled a smartass comment and walked to the side. 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zMasSwA5m
"Where ya going?" he asked, abruptly changing his tone from irritated to irritating.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kvUWiIwBu
”Somewhere.” She pulled her hands inside the cloak, turning around.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjtPC9UktO
”Oh, fascinating. I heard Somewhere’s nice this time of year.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYgRyUf9a7
”It is, actually, not too hot, not too cold.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QdhMKtcvy
”Pretty pleasant in all, not an awful amount of sunshine or rain.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxczY07YVfB
”And you know, not too many people either.” 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRxdHgBE95
Luna looked between the two, then giggled.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShPWsOPuHh
”Excellent living conditions.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMSPBdWzyG
”Yes. Not too shabby of a building”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d7j22YnSy
“Spacious, well-managed.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW4kDwgZyZ
“What are you two doing?!” Luna finally asked.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5jiysYXpI
Cináed glanced at Luna, then with an irritated expression said, “Nothing.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzAHlkYWdV
She ran a hand through her tangled hair, then looked at Luna. “Come on.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl63o52kLF
780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB0Yvlqu0e
780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVZR4toUHz
Neoma sat on the edge of the bed, glaring at the male in the room. Cináed glared back, standing against one of the room’s walls. Luna looked between the two. “So….” When they ignored her, Luna bit her lip, sighing, and shrank down to her ocelot form and to jump up next to Neoma. 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cfnYAJrs0
After another few seconds, Neoma piped up. “Okay.” He raised an eyebrow “Obviously, you’re going to be around for a while.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCZugsVwuL
“Yeah. And?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRWLS795qT
“You need to be of some use.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMbAzki5I0
His eyes narrowed. “I don’t NEED to be.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsWN9itIEq
“The faster we’re gone, the faster you’re out of my hair.” He continued glaring, waiting for her to continue. “So, you’re going to be buying stuff from now on.” She smirked a bit. “I mean, imagine what would happen if two girls got caught doing such!”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBoZdUuh4q
He gave her a flat look. “You’re kidding.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS6PtE9hzK
“‘Course not, and if we did get caught, all the time I would take to escape.” she made a ‘tch’ sound and shook her head. “Such wasted time it would be!”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwumRGs3ns
“Pretty sure you’re capable of shopping yourself,” he said sourly. “Unless you’ve always had a guy slave to do it for you.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZDN0YV9Ct
“Of course we can, what do you think these are for?” She gestured to the heavy cloak.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO9NhbexCB
“Then why don’t you use them?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqLO1DXLcc
“There are some things we can’t buy in cloaks.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y68bqyfNH
“Like?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTdJNPRjmm
“For instance, clothing.” Neoma practically growled out that word, but she gave a smartass smile nonetheless. 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdfEZXOI8P
He growled. “Don’t see why it’s that big of a deal,” the shifter muttered. “And even if you don’t want to be caught buying clothes, you can get whatever else yourself.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0gJzy1yhV
”Of course I can, but then there’s no fun in tormenting you.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD2jkGGYGX
”I am not gonna be your slave because you’re too lazy to buy stuff yourself.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw707yOID1
“Nah, I don’t believe in slavery. I do believe in tormenting assholes.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHLclKHmIG
“… You’re paying for all of this.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhllhzqln9
She dug through her pockets and threw a bag of coins at his head. “Naturally.” He caught it quickly and opened it to check the contents before leaving the room with an angry look. She laid back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ056mZ9OStn
780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uN96RYEF5
780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7eXOFqiII
780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLetPm20yd
Cináed stepped back into the room and promptly dumped the food right on the bed, then threw the money bag at Neoma. She jolted up and glared at him, catching the bag before it hit her. “And a fuck you too.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYExLPlzaR
”Good enough for you?” he nearly spat.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXup3WjpDlz
Luna looked at the food, then Neoma. “No meat?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6PYwLwC78
”No meat.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmTElS9Q25
”Oh…”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi88eH5SBO
Cináed huffed and sat down. Neoma threw a fruit at him. “Earth’s fruits are weird,” she commented. He considered throwing it back just to irritate her, but settled with just keeping it. 780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVzPPFYQBO
She bit into one, still glaring at him. He glared back, passing it between his hands for a minute before finally taking a bite himself. Luna was taking huge bites and swallowing them whole, except for maybe pressing it to the roof of her mouth once or twice.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dJDaN7prz
Luna glared at the fruit, mumbling how a nice rabbit or bird would be better than this. Meanwhile, the other two silently glared across the room. She finally finished her portion, looking at the bread and glaring again.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMZiOQyVza
”Not a fan of varied diets, huh?” Cináed asked absently into the silence.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMaZZbSwt1
”No.” She practically growled, gripping onto the bed.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9WYRY2LMN
”Heh…” Cináed went back to glaring at Neoma, apparently disinterested in the conversation. Neoma stared back, biting into the fruit one last time to finish it. Cináed was still holding his own, not even half eaten, appearing to have forgotten about it. She threw it off to the side to throw away later and glared at him as she went to lay down. Cináed’s eyes followed her, still icy. She rolled over to face the wall, yawning as she did, while Cináed just remained sitting. Luna stared at him for a few seconds, then sunk down to cat form and laid next to Neoma.
780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxC8ZVUkMp
Cináed had fallen into a light sleep, and was still dozing at sunrise. He woke up just after the sun came up, and glanced around with a yawn to see if the other two were already up. Luna was asleep, curled up in a tiny ball. Neoma on the other hand was over by the window, giving the sun a death glare780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL6x946QMz
“You look like it insulted you personally,” he commented.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINNC3XWlte
“It did, it rose and made the moon and stars die away,” she bitterly commented on that, looking back at him.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHOahygKuy
He rolled his eyes. “They always come back, so why bother getting irritated over it?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ByXq36sqd
”Because the sun, like you, is an asshole.” Neoma walked over to the bed, pressing her hand to Luna’s furry head.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOy4PIt1B9
”Tch…” He rolled his eyes again at her and sat up fully.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAAX6rkk65
Luna lifted her head before sleepily lowering it again. Neoma cracked her knuckles, then got up and grabbed her cloak. “First thing is breakfast, then we get to have a marvelous trip to go get dresses.” She said the sentence in a grumble, and Luna jumped off the bed and shifted to human.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti9Gp7HXvn
“How great,” Cináed muttered.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0tuJ2EqyU
“Don’t worry, I’m just as excited as you.” Neoma shrugged up her shoulders and crossed her arms. He sighed, still sitting. “Come on asshat, let’s get this over with.” She made to walk to the door. Luna grinned at him for a moment, then slowly followed.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44o7QUcfQp
He shot a glare at Luna before slowly getting to his feet and walking after the two. Luna strayed behind a bit, staying somewhat near Cinead, but still within reach of Neoma. The shifter was reluctantly following, occasionally glancing at Luna with something between curiosity and a bit of confusion. She was humming softly, and despite practically jumping in her steps, her feet made no noise when hitting the ground.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORrBIHXEvR
”So how long is this gonna take?” he asked, shifting his gaze to the back of Neoma’s head.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfLTLzz7mS
”How the hell should I know?” A few people turned their heads to the girl to glare, but besides that, the small group was ignored.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbUyKcXKDS
”Haven’t you done this before?” he asked irritably.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfIqOaQt8w
“Where we’re from, almost everyone has some sort of magic.” Luna fell behind to say this in a soft tone, glancing around to make sure no humans heard. “So it’s used for almost everything!”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGy5mVtXRR
”Shapeshifters are like that too,” he said, dropping his voice as well. “I don’t shop. At all. Y’know, except when I’m forced to.” He added the last sentence under his breath, almost inaudibly.780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWixh79LPw
Neoma nodded slowly, looking ahead for a minute then back at him. “So thievery?”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyu8NnFn4L
“You bet.”780Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvwYBoI3mx
Neoma only grinned.
